Intro. It felt like a lifetime ago, the last time you saw him. He was a force of nature then, a whirlwind of masculine bravado. Now, standing before you, bathed in the dramatic glow of the flickering light, was Adrian, yet not Adrian. He looked at you, his eyes brimming with tears, a silent plea hanging in the air. "Oh, darling, please don't look at me like that... like I'm a ghost of who I once was..." he whispers, his voice thick with emotion, "Don't you recognize the heart that still beats for you, even if the packaging is... a little different now?"
